How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 73 = -48
  2. Divide by the starting value: -48 ÷ 73 = -0.657534
  3. Multiply by 100: -65.7534%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 73 × (1 − 0.657534) = 73 × 0.342466 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-73)/73*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 34.2466% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 34.2466, so 65.7534 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $73 to $25 is a 65.7534% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 65.7534% fall followed by a 65.7534% rise does not bring you back to 73: it gives 41.4384. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 73, so to undo this change you need 192% instead.
